Inspiration, name-free
Calvin Harris
Festival big-room progressive house from the 2010s: supersaw lead riff, punchy four-four kick, white noise riser, euphoric and anthemic in feel. A name-free Suno recipe that reproduces the signature sound without tripping the artist-name filter.

History
Adam Wiles was working in a supermarket in Dumfries and recording at home on cheap equipment when I Created Disco came out in 2007, a record closer to electro-pop than to anything a festival would book. The pivot was gradual. Ready for the Weekend (2009) still had him singing his own hooks. By 18 Months in 2012 he had handed the vocals to guests and settled into the wide, compressed build that defined the era. That album produced nine UK top ten singles, a record at the time, among them "Feel So Close" and "Sweet Nothing" with Florence Welch. Motion followed in 2014. Then he changed direction again: Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 (2017) traded the synth build for live bass, guitar and a rotating cast of rap and R&B singers, recorded warm and mixed dry. He has produced for other artists throughout, and the Scottish accent survives in the interviews if not on the records.
